Paul Fryer studied art briefly at the Leeds College Of Art in the 1980s but instead of taking the degree, chose to be an electropop singer, recording several albums and singles. In the early 90s he graduated in the unlikely profession of transvestite DJ and was instrumental in the creation of the widely acclaimed Kit Kat Club and Vague, two art-based clubs in Leeds which achieved national recognition. During this time he was also a prolific designer of underground ephemera for the dance scene, and produced numerous records for various record companies.

It will be apparent that Paul Fryer has undergone several metamorphoses in his creative life: on moving to London in 1996, he designed books and other printed material for galleries, fashion houses and record labels and worked as technical consultant for a number of artists. His book of poetry, Don't Be So..., illustrated by Damien Hirst, was published by Trolley Books in 2002.

In 2003 and 2005 Fryer's critically acclaimed multimedia show Electronic Elvis was successfully performed at several London venues subsequently being released on vinyl to be later reprised in a live performance at the Glastonbury music festival. Also in 2005 he left the Italian fashion house Fendi, after a five-year period as musical director, where he had been employed recording and coordinating soundtracks for the runway shows. Since 2005 he has devoted his time and energy exclusively to the making of art, a development that he regards as the fulfilment of a lifelong ambition.

Paul Fryer lives and works in London and Derbyshire, splitting his time between his studio in Erith and his home on the edge of Sherwood Forest. A book of his work, Radiations, has just been published by Other Criteria.
